I am using ubuntu 11.10 and openni.

My question is how to convert the raw depth data to XYZ point?

(x,y,d) coordinate of (pixel, pixel, mm)

I want to know how to convert it to (mm, mm, mm)

Are you using the openni_camera stack? What launch file are you using to start the Kinect (e.g. openni_launch openni.launch)?

I am using openni_launch openni.launch to start the kinect.

Hi rosmaker,

If you are using

roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch

then the conversion is already being done for you.

You only need to subscribe to the topic /camera/depth_registered/points. This topic is of type sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 and represents the 3D point cloud of the scene in meters.

You can find further information on how to access point cloud data in http://www.ros.org/wiki/pcl/Tutorials

I hope this helps

What is the way to use the scene in [mm]? If I am using other launch file or not, does I use other way?

rosmaker ( 2012-07-05 02:15:50 -0500 )edit

Well, if you want your coordinates in mm, one thing you can do is multiply by 1000 all the values in /camera/depth_registered/points

openni have convertprojectivetorealworld function in windows openni. Is this same the topic /camera/depth_registered/points?

rosmaker ( 2012-07-05 04:01:31 -0500 )edit

And does raw depth data send by the kinect on 11bit ? how about changed xyz data?

rosmaker ( 2012-07-05 04:52:37 -0500 )edit

how do I do the opposite? How do I convert the pixels around point (0.1 meters, 0.52 meters to pixel (x, y) position? I am using the old Kinect (640 x 480 resulution kinect)
